Application filed January 22, 1883. (Modem I of the longitudinal bars I is attached, or upon Be it known that I, EDGAR N. McKIMM, of it is formed, a flange, K, which is beveled to Lathrop, in the county of Clinton and State of an edge, as shown in Fig. 2, and which is de-.

To the center of one end of the dasher H I Reference is to be had to the accompanying is attached a pivot, L, which enters and redrawings, forming a part of this specification, volves in a socket, M, let into andsecured to in which similar letters of reference indicate the inner side of one end of the box A.

The grooves in the blocks Y allow the bars W to be readily put in and taken out. \Vith this construction the dasher H I and the 'bars WV can be readily taken out to allow the various parts of the churn to be conveniently and thoroughly cleaned and the butter to be conveniently removed from the churn.

In using the churn the passage of the bars I through the cream forces a part of the cream between the'bars \V and the sides of the box A, forces a part of the cream before them, and allows another part of the cream to escape through the apertures J, so that the cream will be forced into violent agitation, bringing the butter in a very short time.
